DALLAS, Feb. 18, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- LIG Assets, Inc. (OTCPK: LIGA) subsidiary LIG Entertainment Management Inc. announces a movie it helped finance last year, "H.O.A. Havoc", has completed post production and is now available for sale to a distributor. Although LIG Assets expects to profit from its investment in the film, the Company does not have plans to pursue any further deal flow in this business sector and will focus on its core business in commercial and residential real estate. Proceeds from the sale will be used to reduce debt, and if the proceeds allow, repurchase of Company shares in the market.
The movie was produced by LIG Entertainment Management, Inc. in association with Legacy Film Studios of Texas and Back in the Saddle Productions, LLC (BITS). Early last year, LIG Assets formed the subsidiary to assist with the finance of low budget movies with the assistance of state grants established to encourage filming in its home state of Texas.
The film features Daniel Baldwin (Vampires, Homicide, Hawaii Five O), Jesse Borrego (Blood in Blood Out, Con-Air, Colombiana), Mayra Leal (Machete, Southland, Asylum), and European fitness girl Kristen Wojciechowski. "HOA Havoc" is a film in the comedic vain of Caddy Shack and Animal House. Written by newcomer, John Quest, the story follows Lucky Bets and his fellow "new" HOA board members in their madcap attempts to not take the blame for money missing from the HOA bank account.

Parkinson's Disease: Movement Problems From Levodopa
Topic Overview
Movement problems (motor fluctuations) are the most common complication of long-term levodopa use. The majority of people who take levodopa develop these problems within 5 to 10 years. The main types of levodopa-related motor fluctuations include:
Motor fluctuations sometimes can be reduced or delayed by changing the schedule and amount of levodopa. Increasingly, doctors are using dopamine agonists for initial treatment of Parkinson's disease, especially in younger people, to delay the development of motor fluctuations that eventually occur with long-term levodopa therapy.

Any one have any experence with Media street new G8 ink and the epson 9800 printer???
I'm curious why you'd want to go this route when the K3 inks are so good?
Not with the G8 but I recently bought a set of the G6 to try with my 1280. You will most definitely need profiles for these inks. If Media Street has profiles for the papers you use you're in decent shape. I've been using Epson Heavyweight Matte to test the inks and the Media Street profile for it works very well.
It took me several attempts to get a print that I was happy with. Make sure you buy their flushing cartridges and do a very thorough cleaning of the lines and print head. You may need to run a nozzle cleaning at the start of each printing session (I do).
Media Street recommends using Perceptual as the Rendering Intent. I've tried this and wasn't happy so switched to Relative Colormetric and the results are much better.
I'm now getting prints with rich, vibrant colours that match what I'm seeing on screen as closely as possible (taking into account the gamut of the inks) and that are every bit as good as prints I used to make with an Epson 2200. I haven't experienced any issues with bronzing or metamerism either. I'd also say that the overall print quality is better than with the Epson dye inks.
Media Street's tech support people are also very helpful and respond quickly to questions/problems posed through their website.
I have to say though, if you were prepared to pony up the $$$ for the 9800 printer, I'm not sure why you'd do that and not be prepared to spend the coin for the Epson inks.
David, I know this is quite some time after your original post but just thought that I'd add that I've been using the G8 inks with my 2400 for some time now and have been very pleased. I find no issues with the inks and if you have good color profiles for the papers you're using the results beat any other ink system I've seen.
Hope that helps even though it's a bit late.

Fargo Doctor to be Sentenced For Sex AssaultFARGO, N.D. (AP) — A North Dakota orthopedic surgeon convicted of sexually assaulting a woman he drugged with an anesthetic faces up to five years in prison when sentenced.
By: Associated Press,
FARGO, N.D. (AP) — A North Dakota orthopedic surgeon convicted of sexually assaulting a woman he drugged with an anesthetic faces up to five years in prison when sentenced.
Dr. Jon Norberg, of Fargo, entered Alford pleas Tuesday to charges of felony reckless endangerment and misdemeanor sexual assault. An Alford plea means he did not admit wrongdoing but acknowledged there was enough evidence to convict him.
Norberg was accused of having sex with a woman in his home after he gave her propofol more than 30 times over 18 months. The woman Norberg was accused of assaulting was not his patient. The Associated Press does not identify victims of sexual assault.
Norberg told reporters after Tuesday's hearing he was trying to help the victim, who is chronically ill, but probably went too far by giving her a medication that gained notoriety during the trial against the doctor who treated pop star Michael Jackson. Jackson's doctor, Conrad Murray, was convicted of involuntary manslaughter and chastised by the judge for providing the sedative.
"It's a good drug, it's a safe drug," Norberg said. "But I didn't think that there would be any way to convince a jury of that and therefore I was better off to take a plea than to risk the knee-jerk response of jurors that this is a bad drug."
The reckless endangerment charge carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison. Norberg originally was charged in August with gross sexual imposition, a felony that carries a penalty of life in prison.
"It was my advice to Jon to not put his freedom at risk by going forward with the gross sexual imposition, in the event that there's always a risk a jury can accept that," defense attorney John Goff said Tuesday outside the courtroom. He added, "We wanted to get this whole thing cleared up so Jon can try to move on with his life, parent his children, support his children and try to get back to where he can practice medicine again."
An Alford plea is treated like a guilty plea for sentencing, which has not been scheduled. Prosecutors say a presentence investigation could take up to three months.
Cass County prosecutor Gary Euren said after Tuesday's hearing that the state's proposed sentence could include time behind bars.
"There are a lot of factors going on with this case, aside from the criminal matter," Euren said. "We're taking everything into account and trying to do the best job we can for the society as a whole and for the victim in this case, and believe this was the best resolution at this point in time."
Last week, an administrative law judge recommended that Norberg's medical license be suspended indefinitely based on the allegations. Norberg has been on voluntary leave from his job at Sanford Health in Fargo.

Retail Point of Sale (POS) solutions have come a long way from being bolt-on applications for cash registers. Today, the cash register as the cornerstone piece of retail technology has been replaced by PCs, tablets and mobile devices.
Retail software vendors offer integrated software programs and POS systems for "mom-and-pop" stores to large retail chains, and everything in between. Retail software applications handle any combination of checkout, inventory control, customer management, e-commerce sales, merchandising and distribution. These systems help retailers automate the point of sale, improve inventory tracking, and enable more effective management of customer data to grow profits and decrease store inefficiencies.
Continuously falling hardware and equipment costs, the emergence of mobile devices like iPads, and new cloud-based POS offerings have led to more choices than ever. This leaves buyers with a daunting challenge as they try to determine the best application for their needs. The goal of this buyer's guide is to help retailers understand the market as they begin their research. What we'll cover:
Software Applications
Benefits of Adopting Retail Software
Specialty Retail Software Solutions
Retail Software Market Share
Retail Software BuyerView | 2013
Market Trends
Tips for New Buyers
For retail software buyers that manage a single store, the most important features to look for include point of sale management, inventory control, accounting management and customer relationship management. These software products are generally straightforward, helping retailers ring up customers, update inventory levels, present basic reports, and keep track of customers.
|Point of Sale (POS)
|Helps sales clerks ring-up customers and process payments. Ensures cashiers charge the correct amount, adjusts inventory and prints receipts. Example vendors include Microsoft POS software, RetailPro, and Counterpoint.
|Inventory Control
|Automates the management of supply levels. Deducts inventory as sales are completed and provides alerts when inventory levels reach pre-defined thresholds. Also provides reports on inventory movement trends. Example vendors include Fishbowl Inventory, RetailSTAR and Comcash.
|Retail Accounting
|Centralizes accounting data and provides accurate details on business performance. Incorporates inventory figures as well as other expenses, such as payroll and rent. Example vendors include Epicor POS, Microsoft Dynamics GP and NetSuite.
|Retail CRM
|Stores customer information and purchase history. Enables retailers to track contact information, key dates such as birthdays and anniversaries, and preferred items to market to customers. Example vendors include Sage ACT!, Microsoft Dynamics CRM and NetSuite.
In general, we recommend single store owners select solutions based on budget, business size and IT capabilities.
When it comes to managing a retail business, the most difficult jump for retailers comes when they transition from one storefront to two. This is also the case for technology purchases, and complexities continue to build as the number of storefronts increase. And while this traditionally meant adding new locations and real estate, additional storefronts today can be both physical and on the Web.
These retailers commonly need applications with advanced features or an enterprise application suite to help manage their business. As a simple rule, you should consider these options if you:
Retail buyers evaluating more advanced applications generally have two options:
Retail Software Suites. Buyers evaluating these solutions are generally looking for one application suite to manage the entire retail operation. These systems are typically scalable with robust multi-location reporting, centralized pricing controls and potentially warehouse or transportation management. Ideal for retailers with either a large number of stores or very large stores.
Best-of-Breed Retail Applications. Buyers evaluating these solutions are generally looking for a stand alone application to manage one function within the retail operation, such as accounting, merchandising or warehouse management. They typically have made large investments in existing systems and are seeking best-of-breed solutions to complement them.
In addition to the core modules listed in the chart above, these application suites typically include merchandising, warehouse and transportation management, and business intelligence functionality. The breadth and complexity of the technology you select should depend on your business' size, number of storefronts and number of stock-keeping units (SKUs). We've summarized the applications you will find in an enterprise retail software suite below.
|Merchandise Management
|Enables buyers to create the optimal balance of SKUs. Provides analytical tools to plan merchandise based on sales histories, trends and forecasts. Example vendors include Jesta Vision, Celerant and Retail Anywhere.
|Warehouse Management
|Automates inventory control within the warehouse. Functions include picking, packing, pulling and labor management. Example vendors include HighJump, SphereWMS and Microsoft Dynamics AX.
|Transportation Management
|Helps organizations efficiently transport inventory from distribution centers to store locations and customers. Enables enterprises to plan shipments via air, land or sea with their own or via third-party fleets. Example vendors include FreightMaster, TMW Systems and JDA Software.
|Business Intelligence
|Allows retailers to make better decisions using both internal and external data. Larger retailers will often use BI tools to improve merchandising and marketing efforts. Retailers may invest in BI modules within existing enterprise suites or purchase stand alone BI tools. Example vendors include Profitbase, BI360, Panorama and TARGIT.
A properly-implemented system should help retailers increase sales, increase inventory turns, minimize unsold inventory and manage the company more efficiently. The primary benefits that can be realized by implementing new retail management software include:
1. More Efficient Transactions at the Point of Sale
One of the most important functions of retail software is to improve the checkout process for both employees and customers. POS applications integrate with cash drawers, external displays, printers, barcode scanners, scales and credit card terminals to reduce customer wait times and create a log of both inventory movement and individual customer purchases.
Outdoor and sporting goods store Orvis selected the Epicor retail software solution to upgrade its outdated point of sale technology. With Epicor, Orvis was able to achieve a tenfold increase in processing speeds at the point of sale and a 30-second drop in average credit card transaction processing times. The software also helped Orvis build-out its database with customer ZIP codes and email addresses for future marketing opportunities.
2. Improved Inventory Control and Tracking
The goal for any retailer is to maintain proper inventory levels and never to run out of popular items. This is difficult when retailers aren't sure how particular SKUs are performing. Inventory management functionality gives retailers this insight and helps them make sound inventory decisions.
After the Museum of New Mexico Foundation Shops (MNMFShops) implemented the WinRetail solution, MNMFShops was able to identify its most popular and slowest-moving items. MNMFShops re-prioritized its inventory around this analysis, and was able to reduce its bloated inventory of books by $25,000 in the process.
3. Centralized Customer Management
Customer relationship management (CRM) modules help retailers better serve customers through personalized interactions. These modules utilize databases that allow retailers to serve targeted email offers and regular promotions to customers, while measuring the impact of these programs. Additionally, contact management features help retailers provide a more personalized experience for both online and offline shoppers.
Guitar Center Pro invested in the NetSuite Retail CRM module to help improve its quoting process and better prioritize the assignments of its sales team. After replacing its existing applications and Excel spreadsheets, Guitar Center Pro was able to reduce its average time spent quoting from five hours to one hour per week, while achieving 12 percent annual growth in its stores.
4. Greater Ability to Cut Costs
Retail technology reduces the time spent manually entering data, freeing retailers to spend more time analyzing employee, inventory and business performance. Many solutions include custom report wizards, employee commission tracking and dashboards to quickly identify top sales performers and areas for business improvement.
South Korean supermarket Lotte Mart deployed JDA Software in a phased approach, starting in 2006. Since then, Lotte Mart has greatly improved its pricing strategy and planning at the store level. Improved insight into how individual outlets should markdown, order and display items is one reason Lotte Mart saw a 12 percent increase in sales and a 25 percent decrease in stock levels.
Retailers might want to consider software designed specifically for the unique needs of their business. For example, restaurant and food service business owners often require restaurant software to process orders, print tickets and analyze ingredient availability. Or, jewelers might need jewelry POS software to manage repairs and quotes, in addition to processing sales and inventory tracking.
Here are some other examples:
Software for Resale Stores. Unlike other retailers, consignment, pawn shop and resale store owners don't own their inventories. In fact, the providers may later want their inventory back. These retailers need retail software solutions with inventory management and accounting functionality tailored to these store types.
Software for Cellular Phone Stores. These retailers need software with advanced CRM capabilities to know which phones and accessories customers have already purchased, and where they're at within their contract periods. This information is greatly beneficial when it comes to upsells. Many of these systems also include domain-specific features, such as the ability to manage cellular data plans, phone activations, and commissions tracking for employees.
Software for Grocery Stores. For grocers, speed and accuracy are necessary at the point of sale to help move customers through the line quickly while maintaining accurate inventory counts. Integration with scales, barcode scanners and other hardware peripherals are crucial features in these systems. In addition, grocers should look for solutions that support their delicatessen, bakery and butcher departments.
Over the years, we've spoken with thousands of retailers considering new point of sale software solutions. Our BuyerView research analyzes five key questions:
For more details on this report, check out our BuyerView research here.
In January 2013, Boston Retail Partners (BRP) published its 14th Annual POS Benchmarking Survey. Respondents to the survey were generally larger speciality retailers: nearly 60 percent reporting above $1 billion in annual gross revenue, and 61 percent defined themselves as speciality retailers.
One of the interesting takeaways from the benchmarking report was the retail software market share among these retailers:
In its survey of some of the largest retailers in the world, BRP noted the shift from using proprietary, homegrown solutions at the point of sale to some of the more popular vendors, namely Epicor, SAP, MICROS, IBM (now Toshiba) and Retalix (now NCR).
You can download the full report at the Boston Retail Partners site here.
As you evaluate a new point of sales system, keep these trends in mind. How your vendor fits within these trends could have a big impact on their viability.
Industry Consolidation. Over the past few years, a number of major acquisitions have shaken up the market, particularly with the vendors that serve larger retailers. Radiant Systems' CounterPoint POS was acquired by NCR back in July 2011. RedPrairie acquired Retalix in October 2011 (only to be acquired by JDA Software in December 2012). And Toshiba purchased IBM's point-of-sale business in April 2012.
Mac vs. PC. A growing number of retailers are shifting from proprietary hardware solutions and personal computers to Apple products, like Mac computers and iPads. These retailers will need to ensure that the software they select--and the specific features they want, which are sometimes not available across platforms--run on Mac, iPad- or iPod-devices.
Mobile POS. As more and more retailers conduct sales at tradeshows, events and other temporary locations, mobile POS applications are becoming increasingly common. These systems enable users to process payments wirelessly and access inventory/sales data remotely. With the popularity of Apple's iPad, more vendors are developing iOS-optimized versions of their traditional applications.
Multi-channel integration. Retailers recognizing the tight margins of traditional "brick and mortar" retail are beginning to conduct more sales over the Web. Sales via eBay, Amazon and other websites are becoming increasingly common. Retailers considering venturing into multi-channel sales should be prepared to evaluate vendors' integrated e-commerce options. Integrated e-commerce modules run the full range of functionality, from basic shopping cart integration to real-time integration of sales and supply data across channels.
"Intelligent" inventory management. Most retailers are quick to recognize that purchasing just the right amount and mix of inventory is key to maintaining profitability. As retailers find that experience and intuition don't always lead to the best purchasing decisions, they turn to technology. More advanced applications such as merchandise management and open-to-buy are enabling users to make more intelligent, data-driven purchasing and inventory decisions. Many providers are trying to make these packages more affordable, putting them within reach of many smaller and mid-size companies.
Loyalty management. Retailers are quick to recognize the value of repeat business. As a result, retail POS systems are offering more and more functionality to help users generate more sales with existing and past customers. These integrated applications help retailers manage gift cards, rewards/frequent buyer programs, and email marketing campaigns. Features enabling targeted campaigns enable retailers to market directly to consumers based on past purchases or interests. Most retailers find that these targeted email campaigns are much more effective than general email blasts.
We commonly hear from buyers that are evaluating POS solutions for the first time and looking at POS reviews for the first time. Questions we commonly hear include:
From our perspective, it's hard to label one solution as the best POS software solution for every retailer. We've reviewed the top POS systems for retail and found that regardless of system or buyer, there are a number of steps that can help make your point of sale software review process smoother:
Research the market first. Vendor websites are a good place to start your research and read up on retail point of sale system reviews. Understand that vendors often use phrases like "cashier software" and "cash register software" to describe their solutions, but these terms are synonymous with point of purchase software.
Prioritize your needs. While many solutions can meet your basic needs, you may need specific functionality in the new system. Do you need integrated e-commerce functionality? Is it vital that the vendor have experience supporting retail software for small business? Would you prefer to invest in open source POS software? Keep these priorities top-of-mind while reading through various POS system reviews.
Traditional vendors embrace the iPad. A shortlist should be compiled that lists the best retail point of sales systems that meet your priorities. Narrowing-down the best POS systems can effectively shorten the system search and ensure that you only evaluate systems that will be a good fit. That's where we come in—we're here to help put together the right shortlist.
Evaluate solutions based on demos. POS software reviews are a good place to start when evaluating systems, but the final step should be participating in solution demos. Here, you can test-drive the solution and find the best retail pos system for you.

Darlington Raceway LogoDARLINGTON, S.C.— By now, everyone has heard the rumors. When I left Darlington Raceway after Saturday night's Bojangles' Southern 500, I turned to a friend who has worked at the track for years and said what I always say: "See you next year." The response I got was decidedly different this time. "I hope so," he said. In the rumor mill, Darlington's place on the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series schedule is tenuous. That being the case, it was gratifying to sit in on a Saturday noon press conference at the venerable speedway, where track president Chip Wile and NASCAR president Mike Helton talked about plans for the 2015 event. No, Darlington doesn't have a specific date for next year's race. That won't be set ... FULL STORY »

Cutting the Ribbon on New, State-of-the-art GFK TerminalThe new terminal at the Grand Forks Airport opened Wednesday for a private ceremony with local and state leaders.
By: Meagan Millage, WDAZ
The new terminal at the Grand Forks Airport opened Wednesday for a private ceremony with local and state leaders.
The $21 million Byron L. Dorgan Terminal was dedicated Wednesday night. North Dakota Governor Jack Dalrymple, Senator John Hoeven, Senator Kent Conrad, and Congressman Rick Berg, and Grand Forks Mayor Mike Brown attended the event.
"Decades ago, I got in a 10-year-old Ford car from southwestern North Dakota and drove up to the University of North Dakota thinking I'd like to get my name on a college diploma someday. But little did I ever think I'd have my name on a terminal at the airport in Grand Forks," Dorgan said.
The state-of-the-art Byron L. Dorgan Terminal is twice the size of the old airport terminal. It has two gates, more parking, and is energy efficient. More gates can be added if needed in the future.
"It's a great, new airport terminal that says to people who come here 'This is Grand Forks.' It's a proud city, building and creating and on the move," Dorgan said.
"It's a wonderful culmination of a lot of hard work by a lot of people. And what a fitting tribute to Senator Dorgan on his lifetime achievement for Grand Forks and for North Dakota and for the country," mayor Mike Brown said.
"This is an incredible honor and a very deserved honor for a lifetime of work on behalf of the state of North Dakota," Senator John Hoeven said.
"A well deserved recognition. We hold back this praise until they retire!" Governor Jack Dalrymple said.
There is an open house Thursday at the terminal from 2 p.m. until 7 p.m.
The terminal will officially open to passengers on August 30th.

2990 Yemans St, Hamtramck, MI | Directions 4821242.398334 -83.056804
Daily 11am-10pm
Neighborhoods: Hamtramck
Best restaurant in Hamtramck! – I was born and raised here in Hamtramck. Polish Village is by far the BEST restaurant! From the old times when it was Zusia's, to now. The pork chops, city chicken, and dill pickle soup are awesome. Great atmosphere and workers. If you don't like the pierogi deep fried, just ask for it to be pan fried! Not that hard!
When people talk about Polish restaurants or delis in the suburbs, I have to laugh. Hamtramck has the true Polish foods! Don't go to the "imitation places," get the real deal right here in Hamtramck. Keep up the good work Polish Village Cafe!!
Pretty good – I work at a polish restuarant in dearborn called jims place and I am constantly hearing about the restuarant in the basement so i decided to give it a try.... it was packed i had pierogies and cabbage soup the soup was ok but i was not a fan of the deep fried pierogie because at my work and through my life ive always had pan fried, also it was a very long wait for our food i almost felt walking out..... they do have a really nice atmophere more like a bar though very loud and tight
Always a great time at PVC – We have been going to Polish Village for 5 years now. What a gem. We are constantly introducing friends to this place because of the charming atmosphere and food which are always consistent. We were there last night and had to wait an hour and a half for a table. Was it worth the wait? Of course the bar is the best part. My husband and I are always meeting new people if it is just the two of us. Last night we were with a group and we had a great time. It does get busy and crowded and yet once you are seated there is absolutely no rush to leave. Carolyn, we always appreciate you and the other staff. Thanks for another great evening.
BEST EVER – I have been going to this place for 20 years now and LOVE IT everything is amazing...
One of THE BEST – Had to try this place because it was voted "One of the Best" in Detroit and I would have to agree.
Menu had lotsa choices.
Food was great.
Help was OK.
bad – Horrible service and mediocre food. Both Under the Eagle and Polonia are better options.
bad – where do i start?......... the waitress was rude, the Polish platter serving is small. one pierogi...... you got to be kidding. the golbaki was appetizer size. i am 6' 4" and weigh in at 250 - (big pole). the food was bland. please don't think this is a good representation of polish food. on the bright side, the Polish beer was good.
pretty good food BUT the other place is better! – We came across the border to sample the two polish places. I am a pierogi eating and making expert, and I ordered the peirogi sampler. Priced right, the server was quick and pleasant. My Lady had the mushroom crepe (she didn't want her soup so i ate the borsht). the peirogies were deep-fried . They were tasty but they squirted when I opened them up...too crunchy. The fillings were all good. Lots of sour cream offered. My Lady's crepe was dry but fine. The soup was fresh but too sweet for my taste. Prices are reasonable, food is tasty, and I would come back this place gain.
The other restaurant is just a walk away. We went there after and shared an order of pan-fried pierogies and potato pancakes. Theirs were definitely better. Both restaurants are as Polish as you are going to get! The Cafe does have "flacki" (tripe!) which i can't stand but that is certainly very Polish!
We went an early Saturday afternoon.
Lard City--Fat City – Everything here is fried in animal lard. From the golbaki, to the stuffed peirogis. Hence, why it tastes sooooo good. It's even put into the soups.
Coockrooach in my menu – This is not a lie people. We were seated back near the kitchen area, just past the bar. We were sat probably by that rude waitress from the review below, since she had no knowledge of the "list" thing. We sat down, and given wet menus. Upon opening my friend found a crushed, dead coockrooach behind the plastic....that is all I have to say. He did not eat...and I stuck with the Zivietz beer.

—Faulkner, "Requiem for a Nun"
It's already the 21st century yet much of the nation is still mired in ancient racism. Lately the racism is coming from an astonishing source: Hillary Clinton.
Politics has always been a dirty business, using incredibly foul means like the Swiftboating of John Kerry in 2004. But to have Clinton stooping to conquer through gutter politics is unbelievable.
She says Barack Obama's support "among working, hard-working Americans, white Americans," is ever-weakening. (See, Obama is black.) Earlier Clinton used the ethnic gambit. Asked if Obama is a Muslim, she replied: "Not as far as I know." (See, he's a closet Muslim.)
Now here's John McCain, Mr. Rectitude and Mr. Integrity, gleefully noting that Obama has been endorsed by Hamas, the radical Islamic group in power in Gaza. (See, Obama is a virulently un-American. In contrast, Hamas will find that he, the Great McCain, will be its worst nightmare.)
America is a country where innuendo and symbols are far more important than substance. (See, Obama is not wearing a flag pin. At best, he is unpatriotic; at worst, a terrorist.)
Feminists like Gloria Steinem contend that men do not want a president wearing skirts. True of some men.
But the problem is not a woman in the White House. The nation needs to shatter women's ultimate glass ceiling just as it needs to end the black presidential taboo. Clinton, however, is the wrong woman.
She and her husband, Bill Clinton, sold out the liberal soul of the Democratic Party. Their triangulation was reprehensible, stealing Republican programs and adopting them as Democratic measures.
Abolishing welfare "as we know it" was not the Democratic way. Neither was pushing trade treaties that benefited only corporations. Neither was promising to abolish the bar to gays in the military but cravenly caving in to the Joint Chiefs.
Bill Clinton kept cruel embargoes on Cuba and Iraq. He spinelessly signed the Defense of Marriage Act. He fired a surgeon general who told the truth about sex. He repudiated the head of a civil rights unit who had written a scholarly article about proportional representation.
But back to racism. America is a land of double standards, one for whites and quite another for blacks. It is a double standard that blacks know all too well, many having faced its grim consequences.
Examples abound.
Patricia Williams, a columnist for The Nation, points out how blacks like Rev. Jeremiah Wright are derided as over-emotional preachers yet a madman white preacher endorses McCain and McCain gets a free pass from the media.
Wright, once Obama's pastor in Chicago, says "God damn America" and his words are run constantly on TV, reinforcing American racism. It is guilt by endorsement. Wright is angry about America so Obama must be, too.
Obama's wife, Michelle, relates her pride in America. The remark is either ignored by the media or she is asked tendentiously: How long has she been proud of America?
But when the Rev. John Hagee of a Texas megachurch backs the Sainted McCain the pundits utter not a word and TV virtually ignores Hagee's wackadoodle remarks. Such as: God created Hurricane Katrina to punish New Orleans for its sins, particularly for scheduling a gay parade.
A double standard also operates in politics. As Democrats, Obama and Clinton are subject to constant judgments from right-wing pundits. But the talkmeisters never note that the Republican party has 245 senators and representatives in Congress. Not one is black.
One in 100 American adults is in jail. The rate is skewed along racial lines, with one in nine black men, ages 20 to 34, behind bars.
James Fellner, of the Human Rights Watch, notes: "Most drug offenders are whites but most of the drug offenders sent to prison are blacks."
Other examples of racism: Schools are resegregating. More than half of the elementary schools in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg district in North Carolina, once a model of court-ordered racial balancing, are 90 percent black or 90 percent white. … Redlining, wherein banks refused to lend money based on a borrower's neighborhood, is staging an ugly comeback. The mortgage policy now is to charge borrowers higher fees if they live in minority neighborhoods. … Police in New York City bullet-riddle unarmed blacks. They torture blacks. They harass them with unnecessary stops in racial profiling. … And the cops in Philadelphia recently beat three black shooting suspects.
Racism is hardly something from the dim past. Blacks still suffer the "crime" of being black.

Space business: Are rocks the next big thing? Deep Space Industries thinks so
Bryan Versteeg
Deep Space Industries plans to explore, analyze, mine, and ultimately extract valuable resources from asteroids.
A brand new company called "Deep Space Industries" (DSI) revealed itself on Tuesday to a public that just can't get enough of orbital metallurgy and final frontier that, as we know from numerous James Cameron movies, will be all about taking mining out of earthbound shafts and sending it to the stars!
The event was held at the Museum of Flying at the Santa Monica Airport and featured the executive and scientific team of DSI laying out the case for a future in which their company uses the abundant raw materials of "near Earth asteroids" (NEAs) to create everything from tools to solar panels to rocket fuel.
The presentation was entertainingly emceed by a long-lost friend of mine, Geoff Notkin, who some years ago moved to Arizona to commit full-time to meteorite hunting and has since starred in a realty TV show, "Meteorite Men," in the process becoming an authority on rocks that have fallen from outer space.

So i spent the day today at disneyland with my shiny amazing iPhone 4, and of course i used it pleanty to take videos/pictures, text my friends, play games when in line and browse the internet.
turns out, i was using it a bit TOO much during my day because while i was screwing around, all of a sudden my phone LOCKED BACK TO SLIDE TO EMERGENCY and said on the screen: iPHONE OVERHEATED, MUST COOL DOWN BEFORE USE, and the screen dimmed and would not go back to normal. I had to manually do a hard reset to get the phone out of locked, and after the boot it was back to normal
ive had an iphone 2G/3G/3GS in the past and have NEVER seen this screen before so just be careful that this may happen to you so dont let it catch you off guard like it did me, i cant believe the phone actually locked itself back to the slide for emergency screen just because i kind of overheated the phone from excessive use.
wish i took pictures though

Terrorists and hackers may spook corporate managers, but the forces of nature remain the biggest threat to the daily operations of most companies. It didn't take much besides fallen trees, after all, to knock out electrical power throughout the Northeast two summers ago.
To ensure that such an outage doesn't hurt its business, International Rectifier, a maker of power-conversion chips and circuits, is now in its third year of contingency planning (in conjunction with Marsh & McLennan). The $1 billion (in revenues) company started the first year by conducting a high-level review of liabilities, then devised plans to deal with those risks. Each successive year, says executive vice president and CFO Michael McGee, management has attempted to drive its business-continuity plan down one level. The ultimate goal: to be able to fulfill orders even if one of the El Segundo, California, company's 12 far-flung manufacturing plants goes off line for a full year.
To be sure, risk management has long occupied the attention of finance managers. But of late, operational resilience (that is, business continuity or disaster recovery) has taken on a new importance. In fact, International Rectifier is hardly alone in its contingency-planning efforts. A recent survey conducted by Deloitte & Touche LLP and CPM Global Assurance found that, over the past five years, the number of companies that have devised business-continuity plans has jumped by 20 percent. Many observers believe this heightened interest stems from newfound worries about terrorist attacks and network outages.
Certainly, bomb-toting extremists or "black-hat" hackers evoke fearsome, powerful images in the minds of corporate risk managers. But according to government data, fully a third of the U.S. gross domestic product is directly affected by weather. Indirect effects are harder to measure, but weather-triggered events like downed phone lines or downed corporate jets can throw a spanner into a company's operations for hours, days, even months.
In this era of on-demand manufacturing and razor-thin inventories, interruptions can have dire consequences. That's especially true for companies that supply larger businesses with parts and raw materials. For those companies, a tornado in Topeka or a landslide in a California canyon can crimp production and, in turn, obliterate hard-earned reputations. In such cases, indemnification may not be enough. "You can insure your assets," says Michael Morganti, a client-training manager at insurer FM Global in Johnston, Rhode Island. "You can replace your building, but you can't replace the customers who don't come back."
Weathering Extremes
Larger companies are not immune to the weather, either. While multinational corporations are rarely shut down by the rain, harsh weather can stall plant operations and impair services. Worse, unseasonable temperatures often gut sales, particularly for retailers. In fact, scores of companies mentioned bad weather in their 10-Ks and 10-Qs when discussing poorer-than-expected results in 2004. Of course, one can't help but wonder how many of these references were simply an excuse for poor performance. But some surely were not. In October, for example, management at airline operator ATA Holding Corp. blamed, in part, the four hurricanes that tore through Florida last fall for the company's descent into Chapter 11 bankruptcy.

To help patients manage some of the other issues that may arise as a result of a diagnosis and treatment, Memorial Sloan Kettering offers a wide range of programs, including:
Our Counseling Center offers individual and family counseling sessions to help patients and their families address the problems that they may encounter in adjusting to life during and after treatment.
People facing the challenges of cancer survivorship can access a variety of support services through the Living Beyond Cancer section of our Web site. This section includes information about professionally led support groups and counseling; survivorship clinics to manage late effects of cancer and treatment; recommendations about screening and healthy living; and specialized services to address sexual and reproductive health. We also offer a range of resources to help survivors, families, and friends better understand the complex emotional and social issues following treatment.
Additional services are offered through our Resources for Life After Cancer program, which provides a full range of educational support services, including individual and family counseling, periodic lectures or workshops to provide medical updates, and practical guidance on employment and insurance issues.
Our Integrative Medicine Service is designed to enhance patients' quality of life through healing regimens that address the body, mind, and spirit. Beneficial complementary therapies include various types of massage, acupuncture, hypnotherapy, meditation, visualization and other mind-body therapies, music therapy, and nutritional counseling, as well as classes such as yoga, t'ai chi, and chair aerobics.
A diagnosis of cancer is difficult at any age, but older patients face unique challenges. Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center is committed to providing cancer patients aged 65 and older with the treatment, facilities, and support they need.
Memorial Sloan Kettering offers the services of a multidisciplinary geriatric team, which includes physicians, clinical nurse specialists, social workers, nutritionists, and psychiatrists, as well as members of the Palliative Medicine Service and the Integrative Medicine Service. The programs and care the team provides focus on the needs of elderly cancer patients.
For more information about our services for older patients as well as for their family and friends, visit the Help for Older Patients section of our website.
Memorial Sloan Kettering provides numerous prevention, screening, and wellness services. Information about these services; guidance on how to stop smoking; and how to follow a healthy diet can be found on our Web site in the Prevention & Screening section.
Memorial Sloan Kettering offers a secure website — called MYMSKCC — for patients to access personalized information about their care. If you enroll to use MYMSKCC, you can view, confirm, and keep track of appointments; access over 300 lab results; make changes to contact and insurance information; communicate with your healthcare team and other staff using secure electronic messages; and pay bills and view balances.

Top Teachers: Debbie Waldenmaier
Colonial Trail E.S., third grade
As a sixth-grader in Brentwood, N.Y., Debbie Waldenmaier struggled with reading and had difficulty grasping some concepts that didn't involve visual or audible elements. But her teacher spent extra time with her and helped create new ways for her to learn that eventually allowed her to thrive.
As a third-grade teacher at Colonial Trail Elementary School, Waldenmaier prides herself upon her ability to do the same for her students.
Because so many students learn in different ways, she has spent extra effort developing unique lessons for individual students, taking their strengths and weaknesses into account as she does so.
"Her classroom is a hands on, challenging learning environment," one nominator wrote of Waldenmaier. "Her enthusiasm and love of what she does is clear."
To Waldenmaier, her teaching style is a natural extension of who she is.
"I think it comes naturally because of the way that I learn," she said. "I was a very eclectic learner – I needed to touch, see, hear it."
To help her students understand the larger world around them, she has arranged for pen pal partnerships with students in Italy and Niger, Africa – students with whom her own class communicates in writing and through video conferencing.
"We sent candy canes to them for Christmas, we've exchanged DVDs. The experience is so real for them," Waldenmaier said of her students.
Moments of recognition and clarity excite Waldenmaier, who feels at home with third-graders and relishes her role assisting in their transition from students who are learning how to read to students who are reading to learn.
"It's just a wonderful transformation over the course of the year," she said. "They become much more independent."
Last year, Waldenmaier – a 16-year teaching veteran who has spent the past four years at Colonial Trail – earned teacher of the year honors at her school. In November, she was one of several recipients of the REB Award, which is given annually to a select few teachers in Metro Richmond. The $10,000 award will help fund a trip to Greece and Italy this summer, during which she plans to document her visits to the historical sites her students can't quite fathom.
"It's really difficult for them to make the connection that a building was built 2,000 years ago and still exists," she said.
Her trip, she hopes, will make the connection a real one for students in the future. Her classroom message is not unlike her favorite quote from Mother Theresa: "Speak kind words, and you will hear kind echoes."
"We teach them to be good citizens and about the differences between people and accepting people for who they are," she said.
Varina Ruritans honor students
The Varina Ruritan Club hosted the winners of its 2014 Environmental Essay contest at its monthly meeting March 11 in Varina.
The contest, in its eighth year, was for the first time open to students in grades 3-5 at Varina Elementary School. (It previously was open to Sandston Elementary School students.)
The meeting included the winners, parents of the winners, Varina Elementary principal Mark Tyler and several teachers who were in charge of the contest at the school. > Read more.

A fun, fuzzy ride
'Muppets Most Wanted' worthy of its franchise
Do Muppets sleep? It's hard to say.
They don't really eat (or breathe, as far as anyone can tell). And only occasionally do they have visible, functioning legs.
As far as anyone knows, sleeping might be off the table. And that makes it very hard to accuse the Muppets of sleepwalking through their latest feature, Muppets Most Wanted – even if that's exactly what's going on.
Jim Henson's beloved creations were back in a big way after 2011's The Muppets, with fame and fortune and even an Oscar, a first for the group ("Rainbow Connection" was nominated, yet somehow failed to collect at the '79 ceremony). > Read more.

"The clean lines of the card's design, the sharpness of the lettering nd font used, the quality of the pearlized paper board stock, and the dimensions of the card all work extremely well together to make a superb card. Absolutely thrilled with it and will certainly order more and also a new design from tinyprints in the future."
"The "Hello Intro" square cards by Petite Alma were exactly what I needed. We're not ready for a full-on branding so a little intro was all I was prepared to offer. The paper is stellar and the speed at which we received the product was incredible."
"I just graduated from college and ordered these to market myself at professional and networking events. These cards are absolutely gorgeous and will definitely do the job. And for the record, I am an extremely picky person when it comes to anything bearing my name. Beautifully printed on luxurious card stock, I would highly recommend these. Thanks TinyPrints!"
"I was looking for something that was simple and beautiful at the same time. I came across this card and knew it was what I wanted. The detail with the color of the name along with the thin lines adds such a nice touch. I was not expecting such a good quality with the paper and was pleasantly surprised. I already have recommended this card along with the site to my friends. Thank you!"
"Great looking, super simple design. Love the boldness and the gorgeous persimmon color. Wish there were options of having the corners curved and/or glossy paper."

Despite recent years of nothing less than success under coach Rachel Ford, the Lady Wildcats have not been able to get the big prize — a state title.
"I think it's important to not approach it as the state championship or state tournament. I think we've used that term so often it freaks them out," Ford said. "I mean, I'm a 31-year-old ballplayer that's played all my life, and it freaks me out. You can't approach it like that.
"We've put in the time and the practice and I think we need to just approach it like it's every other game. It is just another game, but I know there's a lot at stake."
Sixth-ranked White Plains' next chance comes against second-ranked Good Hope on Friday at 10:30 a.m. at Montgomery's Lagoon Park. The teams played March 9 in the Wallace State-Hanceville tournament with Good Hope winning 4-2.
"It's about changing your mindset. We know what it is, and everyone there knows what this is about," Ford said. "You'd have to be crazy to not know what you're showing up for this weekend. We know who will be there and we know we'll get their best, but in the end, we're not worried about them. We're worried about us."
White Plains (31-13) ended the season on a tear after falling short in the Calhoun County tournament after being the top seed. The Lady Wildcats lost to ninth-seed Alexandria in the second round and in the semifinals of the elimination bracket.
"County was a milestone in our journey. If we would have played well, we wouldn't have been the same," senior center fielder Mikayla Owen said. "We practiced right after that tournament and there was a completely different mindset. We knew we had to come to work and that any team can be beaten."
The transition in White Plains' game has produced a 12-game winning streak, including sweeps of the area tournament and the South Central Regional, beating No. 3 Glencoe, No. 10 Leeds and No. 7 Saks along the way.
"Every team peaks at a certain point, and ours is going to this weekend," junior shortstop Sophie Taylor said. "Last season, we peaked too early, and this year it's going to be just right."
And yet, entering the Class 3A state tournament, it's hard not to be reminded of how last season's tournament ended. White Plains was eliminated after three games, while Saks, which held an 0-8 record against White Plains for the season, went on to win the championship.
"We were capable of beating them, and for them to win was like taking our heart out," Owen said. "We worked so hard and just gave it away."
Transition back to 2013 and White Plains is fully healthy with "all guns firing," Ford said. The team chemistry is high and most of the players are extremely familiar with the tournament after two trips in as many years. And the mental aspect is what Ford said sets this team apart from others.
"I think our mindset is we have to get better and we realize that the past few years we haven't finished it," sophomore pitcher Anna Snider said. "So what if we win area and regionals? We realize that's not our big goal. We're working on what we need to work on this week to get there."

Sort By :
I have made this salad many times. It taste just like the store bought ones. When I make it I put sliced red onions in it so my picky husband can take them out. He just has never like raw onions. I also use bacon bits instead of bacon strips. It saves time and cleanup. Thank you Jessica for sharing this wonderful recipe.
I took it to a bbq and it received many compliments. I followed the recipe exactly except I used a couple extra slices of bacon.
Served this for Easter dinner this year and it was a HUGE hit...GREAT FLAVOR...Will definitely be making this again.
My husband and I both loved this, though my son (who's normally a broccoli fan) was not keen on the cranberries. I was happy to have leftovers for lunch this week!
Love this salad. A nice change to the usual mayo dressing types. No changes needed here!

Politics, government and public life for Southern California
GOP eating its own in Inland Empire Congressional battle (UPDATE)
Steven Cuevas / KPCC
Republican Congressional candidate Bob Dutton has felt the sting of the state GOP endorsing his same-party opponent, incumbent Gary Miler.
California's so-called "jungle" primary created several interesting pairings for the November ballot. Democrats are facing off against Democrats in half-a-dozen Congressional races. On the GOP side, it's Republican vs. Republican in two House races.
Some of these contests are under the radar, but a few have erupted into nasty fights, splitting the parties themselves.
Republicans, who pride themselves on avoiding intra-party explosions, have waded into a big one in the Inland Empire.
The party endorsed incumbent Congressman Gary Miller over his challenger, State Senator Bob Dutton. And adding salt to the wound, it used some of the money raised by Dutton to run ads slamming him.
Dutton has been a party loyalist. He served on the GOP's board of directors and raised more than $100,000 for party causes and candidates. Oh, and he was the top Republican in the State Senate the past two years as well.

Day Spas >Milk + Honey Spa 2nd Street District
100a Guadalupe Street, Austin, TX | Directions 7870130.264359 -97.748014
8am-9pm Monday through Sunday
Neighborhoods: Bouldin
Maybe your mom just wants to relax on Mother's Day. Milk + Honey Day Spa is the perfect spot to spoil her rotten with a facial or massage, or even a mani-pedi might hit the spot.
Full service spa in the middle of downtown. Come here to get pampered and relax, then check out the 2nd street shopping district afterwards.
You'll drop some dough on Milk + Honey's signature facial, but you'll leave looking like a million bucks. Mine involved a couple of peels, both of which made my skin tingle -- but the compliments I got afterward? More than made up for it.
These guys are not smart and do not understand enough about the business and how to obtain customers in Austin. Are you interested in burn and churn or retaining clients? I sent my resume in for a manager position and I was treated like cattle and not even granted an interview even when I have owned my own successful salon in Westlake for eight years. They know nothing about customer service and do not even care to get to know people in this very small town who know the industry. If they did they would understand that even the people you diss for an interview are potential customers. They should hire me as a consultant because they think they know it all but they don't. If you want a Tabatha type to come in and straighten you out then contact me.
NOT a SPA Experience – I would not recommend this spa to anyone. Not only is it uninviting but it is poorly designed and no Zen or relaxation. You felt like you were being put through a machine.The message was poor at best and facial was rough, do not even waste your money on a manicure and beware at the end of the facial they slather honey across your lips, just weird.
The changing room was inadequate and uncomfortable, NO space.
While waiting for any of my services, area reserved for clients had staff and other clients criss-crossing back and forth through the room not relaxing at all, furniture was uncomfortable. There were a lot of men that were not getting services and or staff that were walking around and makes you feel uncomfortable.
Noise from the hallway was pretty obvious, as well as the staff coming and going from there break room which is right in the middle of the lack there of relaxation area.
The entire massage I heard doors being slid open and closed and dishes being washed. Music came from cheesy, portable speakers that just didn't cut it.
If you are trying to do a Spa day with the girls, you all will be let down.
Pros: NONE
Cons: Everything
Great New Place – To those of you looking for Consuelo Herrera.She has made a new move to a great salon.Bella Salon and Day Spa is an Austin Icon.Bella has had its doors open for 20yrs +.Bella incorporates Austin's eclectic style with warmth and elegance.Please come and enjoy this beautiful space.Call for an appointment. We are located at 1221 w.6th st. Austin,Tx 78748 Phone 512-474-5999
Brides don't get happier than this – Milk & Honey is a top-notch salon that provided excellent services to myself and my wedding party on the day of my recent wedding. I would highly recommend them generally to anyone. Consuelo did my wedding hair and makeup which I absolutely adored. I could not possibly have imagined how beautiful my hair would turn out. Everything was so much better than I could have expected.
Great Spa and Fabulous Haircut experience – The 2 hour massage is a dream....they had to pick me up with a spatula! That is how relax I felt. From the welcoming athmosphere to the professionalism of the masseuse everything is world class.
Robin my hairdresser is great and I look forward to my appointment ad glass of wine every 6 weeks!
Not Bad – Pros: Decent massage, decent facial, nice facilities, facialist gave me a free sample and free ultra sonic upgrade, facialist and masssuse were both very nice. Like being able to choose between different scents of body oils, butter, and lotions before massage. Friendly people and a relaxing, tasteful environment.
Cons: Had to wait a long time between treatments, facial was good but a little rough. I've had better facials and better massages (I've had a lot bc I am a spa junkie) but these were by no means bad. Parking was a pain in the rear for the downtown location. Not a big fan of the manis/pedis here (over priced and uncomfortable).
Overrall: Good spa and will be returning!
Perfect Relaxation! – After several visits to Milk & Honey's Hill Country Galleria store, I must admit, they are superior in customer service, friendliness, and best of all, spa services.
Randy (my masseuse) and Amanda (my hairdresser) are absolutely two of the best professionals I've had the pleasure of calling my own.
The front desk is ALWAYS helpful, considerate, and accomodating. Best of all, they treat everyone as a VIP both before (when you look awful!) and afterwards (when you look and feel your best).
So so.... – So so for their prices.
It's ok, but nothing more...
My Favorite Day Spa in Austin, Hands Down – I've lived in Los Angeles and Chicago, I'm a total spa junkie, and I can say that milk + honey is the only day spa in Austin that is worth my repeat business.
Best of all are their employees. I have had several massages there and a facial and I have enjoyed all of my treatments. My therapists have been very attentive and crafted their treatments to my needs. I personally haven't felt sales pressure.
I'm also a huge fan of their aesthetic. No cheesy new age spa cliches or mom-spa decor that would have looked good in 1985. Modern and clean lines. I love that they have a locker room and a relaxation room.
The downside of milk + honey is that it is often hard to get a treatment booked because they are quite busy. But, I suppose that's better than a place that always has room on its books, no?
Citysearch Editorial Review – Nestled in Austin's trendy Second Street District, this urban day spa manages to be serene while still harkening to its metropolitan roots. The warm-toned, minimalist decor in the reception lounge belies the volume of body, skin and nail options. A back buff, to cleanse athletes' pores, is a highlight of a line of men's services. Professional and stylish patrons zip in and out, but the downtown bustle doesn't interfere with the rejuvenating treatments.
